Recent experiments aimed to explore the combination of CMOS chips and SuperCollider.
Ndefs were used to quickly experiment with different variations of the processing and related parameters. In particular, code was created in which onsets from the input signal (CMOS chips), were used to trigger an envelope which modulates the time of a delay line.
In certain parametric states this can produce bouncing, glissandi like trails of delayed audio when triggered by an onset. This is particularly interesting when previous trails are interrupted by new ones, producing complex and dynamic results in which the past and present states of the input signal and the processing are interdependent.
A temporary enclosure for the amplifier was also constructed using cardboard. The cardboard box emphasised lower frequencies and allowed the volume and mute switches to be used more easily.
The cmos circuit consisted of 40106, 4070 and 4066 chips and was focused around the controlled distribution of modulation signals. This was achieved using the 4070 and 4066 chips for combining and gating various signals from the 40106 and switches.
An Arduino was also used to provide a 16 step sequence with an input for triggering the next step.
In addition to this, the motors circuit was used to trigger small solenoids, expanding the timbres available and complementing the electronic sounds of the circuit.
